elguerodiablo:I just watched it this week. Amazing show. I owe you farkers for cluing me in to it. Is it just this one season like a mini-series? I can't really see them continuing after this story arc.

I think (my wife may have told me?) they're doing something a la American Horror Story - a separate story each season. Not sure if they'll have returning actors like AHS or not.

They are already planning the second season. It's going to be like American Horror Story except more extreme, totally reboot the story/characters at the start of the next season.

Good acting and an intriguing plot. But it doesn't really hold together and relies on the viewer keeping track of far too many plot threads. It's alright, but it's too much work. Like Twin Peaks, without the compelling weirdness.

farkingismybusiness:What did he do? I've already seen that episode a few times and don't really have time right now.

Right before Hart suggests that he stay for dinner (ie, leave) we see his hands: he's making making the same sort of figure he makes out of the beer cans in the interview out of a paper napkin. It's not close to finished, but you can see what it's going to be once you've seen the reveal later in the episode.

Also: they've already told us who's responsible for the killings, and it's not the meth cook and it's not Cohle.

I haven't quite figured it out but I imagine it has something to do with Tuttle Ministries.

Damn it. I just know I'm going to marathon this season once it's all over. So many little details.

Confabulat:whatshisname: But it doesn't really hold together and relies on the viewer keeping track of far too many plot threads.

It holds together fine as far as I can tell so far. But we only know part of the story.

And complaining that a TV show makes you work too hard to keep up with it says more about your skills as a viewer, not any fault of the show.

I enjoyed Twin Peaks and I prefer the sort of movies that make you think. This show just seems to be throwing shiat against the wall to make itself seem clever. The acting is great. The photography is very good. The story is fragmented and difficult for the sake of being difficult.

steverockson:I haven't quite figured it out but I imagine it has something to do with Tuttle Ministries.

Maybe tangentially. It also has to do with the task force and a lot of other things that don't seem important at the moment. It's just that the way they dropped it in was so blatant that everyone missed it.

He says that there's a Satanic cult practicing human sacrifice deep in the woods in Louisiana. It sounds so much like drug-addled nonsense, but it's the one thing that connects all the dots on the show so far. The only thing it doesn't explain is what causes the split between Hart and Cohle.

The split between Hart and Cohle comes seven years later though. They had only been working together 3 months when they got this case.

I think a lot of characters we've seen, especially the good "Christian" ones are involved. Remember that 1992 was the height of the who Satanic Cults are everywhere nonsense. I think the basis of this season is: what if they were?

i just watched that part again. He said they were rich men too and they had a spiral brand to mark them like the victims had. I'm thinking the preacher is the leader of the cult.

I think it's the governor.

Gov's brother.

Was he the one that showed up at the police station in the first episode? Then yes.

Thats him.

I'm thinking the preacher is a middle manager in the entire operation. Either the brother or the Governor is the actual big fish. I could see it going either way, with the brother in the early lead.

Just watched the first 4 episodes in two days (stupid ass work schedule prevented all 4 in a day). The 1st episode started a little slow (which is to be expected). It picked up steam fast. Now I need my fix.
